What Oliver loves...
We love the views from Villa Amika, an impressive mountain backdrop, and sweeping sea vistas from the terrace and balcony.
The bedrooms at Villa Amika are spacious and beautifully appointed, with big beds, ensuite bathrooms, and stunning sea view balconies.
Your private swimming pool at Villa Amika is long enough for a few lengths and lovely enough for a cooling afternoon dip and a relaxing midnight swim.
We love that Villa Amika is set in the picturesque seafront village of Blizikuce, with restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops all within walking distance.
What you should know
All three bedrooms at Villa Amika are furnished with king-size beds, perfect for three couples sharing or a small family.
Villa Amika is built into the hillside, with steps and a steep walk down to the seafront, which may be challenging for those with mobility issues.
Although you can see the sea, the nearest beach is just over two kilometres from Villa Amika, a lovely walk though.
Please note, we strongly recommend hiring a car to make the most of the surroundings!

Seaview
Villa Amika can be found perched on the hillside of the picturesque village of Blizikuce, south of Budva, on the coast of Montenegro, overlooking the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea. The villa is thirty-one kilometres from Tivat International Airport, a scenic drive through the countryside to your holiday home from home. The villa is almost on the seafront, set between Crevna Glavice and Drobni Pijesak beaches, with the luxury resort of St Stefan a few kilometres away. The beaches of Budva, Plaza Jaz and Mogren are all highly recommended, with breathtaking vistas, organised amenities, sandy beaches, easy entry turquoise waters, and a selection of exhilarating watersports.
The village of Blizikuce has shops, bars, and cafes to cater for your holiday, and the area is especially known for its fabulous seafront seafood restaurants and lots of local wineries of which you can take a tour.
Your stay at Villa Amika has a mountain backdrop, a hot spot for walking and hiking trails and adrenalin-inducing mountain biking and paragliding. Whilst the sea is fabulous for fishing trips, kayaking, watersports, and relaxing boat trips around the bay.
Enjoy a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Kotor, with its medieval architecture, famous fortress, beautiful bay, and cobbled streets, which you can wander, shop for souvenirs, and enjoy local delicacies served in a family-run taverna.
Go North to the town of Budva, renowned for its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and lively nightlife. Stroll around the old town with its narrow streets, ancient buildings, and historic fortress, see the Citadel, and sit and admire the picturesque views of the Adriatic Sea. As dusk falls, hit the bars for sundowner cocktails, then dance until dawn at one of the beach clubs, with the sand between your toes.
Montenegro loves to host a festival, check out what’s on and where, and take part in cultural celebrations and traditions, live music events, and fine art shows.
The Region
About Sveti Stefan & South Coast
The southern coast of Montenegro is largely made up of the Bar and Ulcinj Municipalities. This area is ideal for those who enjoy the lack of crowds and are in pursuit of a serener setting.
Sveti Stefan is probably the most likely image you will find on a Montenegrin postcard and with good reason too! With pink sandy beaches and delightful little shops, you will find yourself in a world of your own. Due to the seasonality of Sveti Stefan, its island gate is open to guests from May.
The South Coast –
Bar’s testing past is chronicled in its partially restored towns, which have seen a Turk invasion during the 19th Century and a severe earthquake in the late 70’s. Bar really is a treasure and efforts have been made to rebuild its old town and surrounding communes, which has given rise to one of our more peculiar, but captivating destinations.
The clearest way to understand the dichotomy of this area’s past is to pay a visit to Stari Bar. Firstly, you will be bewildered by the striking Mount Rumija that frames this beguiling town. A heavy presence of Ottoman architecture can be seen scattered amongst renovated structures, dilapidated buildings and relics. This image alone denotes the staggering degree of one town’s inauspicious history and lends a careful reminder to visitors of an era long-gone. More stately buildings have stood the test of time, so pay a visit to the Church of. St Jovan Vladimir (formerly the Patron Saint & Protector of Bar) and King Nikola’s Palace that now acts as the town’s museum. Perhaps one of the most inspiring feats of this town is Stara Maslina and its olive grove. This olive tree has remained in place for over two millennia and acts as a sign of fortitude for a prised town.
A short trip from Bar will land you on the doorstep of Skadar Lake and its National Park. This reserve encourages its guests to view exceptional indigenous wildlife, enjoy water sports & boat trips and taste the wines of Vinarija Bogojević & Cemovsko Field. A true marvel for those who get a kick from the outdoors!
South of both Bar and Skadar Lake, the town of Ulcinj is found bordering Albania. This is where the best beaches in this region can be found, which include Valdanos Beach and Velika Plaža & Mala Plaža. Here you will finally find some space to breathe! Unlike Budva, Ulcinj hasn’t quite been touched by the hordes of European tourists. The old town of Ulcinj stands proud as the oldest in Montenegro and with this comes a humbler style of life…people come here for good old-fashioned R&R! The town has a remarkable presence of farmer’s markets and street vendors, which tend to operate most days. What better way to start the morning than picking up some fresh & locally grown fruit? You will also be pleased to know that Ulcinj has a reputation for having the best gelato in Montenegro and the Adriatic coast, so don’t feel guilty upon your daily return visits! When the evening falls and you're craving something savoury, stroll along the Bojana River and you will find some of the more renowned restaurants in the area.
